Senior 2 objective 15
This objective is how to figure out the slope of a line.

The main formula for Slope=Rise over Run.


Here are some examples
of formulas you can use:
The formula for the slope of the straight line going through the points (x1, y1) and (x 2, y 2) is given by:

To figure out your problem you count the distance from one point the the next point. Using the Rise over Run formula you can take the vertical distance from one
point and divide by the horizontal distance of the next closest point like the diagram above...
